User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 2 CowManager modules The CowManager consists of three modules: Fertility, Health and Nutrition. The Cow list is always available for you. The type of alerts and graphs you can see are depending on the modules you choose. Which graphs and features are in each module is described below. Above the cow list you can see which modules are active in your CowManager. You can see in the image above that the modules Fertility, Health and Nutrition are active in contrast to the module Analysis. When the module is inactive, the name of the module is grey. The letters of the modules are bold when it is active, see picture above. In case you want to activate another module, you can contact your sales representative. The module Analysis is not yet available. More information about the features of these modules can be found on our website www.cowmanager.com. 2.1 Fertility Module Fertility consists a real time heat detection in your herd. In both tabs Alerts and In heat you can find all heat alerts. See the screen below. The heat alerts are based on the deviations in behaviour of the cow compared with the reference period of 7 days of this cow. In the figure above you see how the alert is displayed in the tab Alerts and In heat. In paragraph 3.3 Work screen alerts you’ll find how to read these alerts. If you want to see the corresponding activity graph, just click on the alert. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 This graph shows the high activity of the cow in the red line. When the blue line (heat state) comes into the green area, there will be an alert. More information about this graph is given in paragraph 3.4 2.2 Health The module Health calculates the behavior of the cow: eating, rumination, resting, active and high active behavior. It also shows the ear temperature compared to the temperature of the group. You can watch the alerts on the tab Alerts and Health. The alerts are based on deviations of the reference period of the cow. This is a strong indicator if getting a certain disease. The three types of health alerts are shown below. These alerts are shown in the cow list in the tab Alerts and Health. A cow can be alerted as suspicious, sick or very sick. The temperature sign appears when the temperature of the cow differs more than 7 degrees. More information about these alerts can be found in paragraph 3.3 Work screen alerts. If you want more information about a health alert, you can click on the alert and the corresponding behavior or temperature graph will appear. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 More information about this graph is given in 3.4 ‘The cow’ When you click on the health state the graph of the specific cow appears directly. The temperature graph shows the eartemperature of the specific cow compared to the average eartemperature of the total group. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 More information about this graph is described in 3.4 ‘The cow’ 2.3 Nutrition Within the module Nutrition the eating and rumination minutes are calculated and shown in the tab ‘All cows’ in the cow list and in the list with ‘Alerts’. Besides this data, the module feeding calculates group overviews which are processed into graphs. See more information in chapter 5 Nutrition. The rumination- and eating minutes are both shown in the tab ‘All cows’ and the ‘Alert lists’. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 3 Cow list In this overview you see different tabs which represent different types of alerts and groups. When opening the CowManager the tab ‘Alerts ‘appears directly. The tabs contains the following information: - All cows: all cows including young stock which are known in the CowManager - Alerts: all alerts around Fertility and Health - In heat: all specific cows in heat - Health: all cows with a health alert - Fresh cows: all fresh cows up till 21 DIL (see paragraph 6.2 Management settings) - Open cows: all open cows from 40 DIL till 200 DIL (see paragraph 6.2 Management settings) - Open young stock: all young stock above 14 months without an insemination (see paragraph 6.2 Management settings) - Close-up: all cows more than 266 days pregnant (see paragraph 6.2 Management settings) - Dry: all dry cows - Young stock: all young stock - Not linked: all cows that are not linked to a Sensor All tabs are divided in columns, as you can see in the figure below. These columns are selected specific for the type of alert or group. Eventually you can add or delete columns. Important! After a change in the work screen always click on ‘save settings’ to save the changes. You can easily search through the herd using the ‘search-cow’ function. The cursor is always in that field. Just fill in the cow number and click on enter. The cow information will appear directly. If the cow doesn’t exist, your cursor will automatically be back in the search row and you can type in another cow. 10 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 3.1 Work screen columns per tab You can choose yourself which columns you want to see per tab in CowManager. • Go to the tab where you want to add another column. • Click with the right mouse button on a column header and select columns put a checkmark in the box which is related to the column you wish to see. • The columns can be dragged into your preferred order. Click on the column heading, hold down the mouse button and drag to the column where you want the column to be. Important! After a change in the work screen always click on ‘save settings’ to save the changes. 3.2 Work screen filtering and sorting The columns can be sorted in various ways. • By clicking on the column’s name (for example Animal nr or Name) this column is sorted. So, if you always want to see the latest attention, you sort on column ‘time latest attention’. • You can also sort by right-clicking on the column name. There will appear a menu where you can choose different sorting options. • At the top of the bar when you click the ‘filter’ button, a box appears under the column name. In this box you can specify what you want to filter. In addition to the box there is also a filter button. Here you can choose how you want to filter. 11 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 3.3 Work screen alerts In the work screen ‘cow list’ are the columns of the cow’s alerts. When you click on an alert, you can view the alert directly. When there are some new alerts since last time viewed, the button Cow list will be bold. The number of new alerts (displayed between parentheses) are also bold. • Time latest alert This column shows the date and time of the most recent alert. CowManager shows new alerts every hour. The alerts are shown in the screen for 24 hours, also when the behaviour of the alert cow is normal again. • In heat state In this column the heat alert are displayed. Heat alerts can have three different colours. - Every hour, ‘in heat’ alerts will be calculated and refreshed. Clicking on the alert shows you the activity graph, to determine the time of insemination. The ‘cold’ alert, appears when a cow is high active for a short time, less than 2 hours. When the heat behaviour remains the alert will be shown in light green or green. The light green ‘in heat’ alert indicates that this cow is suspected to be in heat. The arrow which is pointing up or down indicates if the cow the level of high active behaviour is increasing or, when the arrow is pointing down, indicates the level of high activity is decreasing. The first number shows the current heat state, the second number shows the maximum heat state. The level of the heat state is similar with the colours of the alert and the levels in the heat graph. The number in the parentheses shows the hours that the cow is to be in heat, counting from the first alert. The dark green ‘in heat’ alert indicates that this cow has a clear high active behaviour. The arrow which is pointing up or down indicates if the cow is becoming in heat and the level of high activity is increasing or, when the arrow is pointing down, indicates the cow is coming out of heat and the level of high activity is decreasing. The first number shows the current heat state, the second number shows the maximum heat state. The number in parentheses shows the number of hours that the cow is in heat, counting from the first alert. • Health state This column shows alerts on the behaviour of the relevant cow. When the behaviour differs from previous days, the cow gets an alert. - Every hour these alerts will be calculated and refreshed. Clicking on the alert gives you the behaviour graph, to help you to diagnose the situation. 12 The yellow ‘suspicious’ alert means that the cow has decreased or moderately impaired eating and rumination activity. The number in parentheses shows the number of hours that the cow has had this health alert. The orange ‘sick’ alert means that the cow is much less active with greatly reduced activity. The number in parentheses shows the number of hours that the cow has had an alert. The red ‘very sick’ alert means that the cow is seriously reduced in activity, with seriously reduced eating and rumination. The number in parentheses shows the number of hours that the cow has had an alert. The black ‘no movement’ alert means that there is no movement detected in the Sensor for more than 4 hours. It is possible that the Sensor is still linked to a User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 cow, but that this Sensor is not in the ear of the cow. The number in parentheses shows the number of hours that the cow has had an alert. 13 The temperature alert is given when the cow has a health alert and also a much lower temperature, 7 degrees lower than the normal group-temperature. The crossing arrow sign means a physical group change. This icon will show up when a heat or health alert appears two days before or after a the group change (in total 4 days). This icon will help you to determine if the heat or health alert is true or false. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 3.4 The cow On the left side of this overview the latest alerts of this cow are displayed. CowManager shows the latest alerts over the past 60 days. When you double-click on the cow you see an overview of the selected cow. You see the date and time the first alert was given. In parentheses the number of hours this alert remained. The numbers in the third column are the numbers of days ago from now. Above this overview are five tabs. The five tabs contains the following information: 1. The first tab is a general overview of the cow. In this overview you will find various information about the cow: - The cow’s most recent events, calving, inseminations, dry off. - General information about the cow. Animal number, registration number, name and sexes. - You can always change this information by using the pencil. - Below more information about the Sensor the cow is linked with. When was the last communication and which antenna is the Sensor is communicating to? 2. The second tab is an overview of the cow’s temperature over a certain period. This contains the following information: - Its temperature at 1, 8 and 15 day (s) ago. You can also select a specific period. This graph is automatically set to one day. - In the graph you can see the temperature of the individual cow (blue line) and the temperature of the biological group (green line) in which the cow is classified (young stock, dairy herd, dry cows). 14 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 Events are imported from your management system are shown in the vertical line. For example; calving dates, inseminations and treatments. 3. The third tab shows you all cow’s events, from birth until today. These can be manually; 1. Entered by choosing the kind of event at the top line and clicking the checkmark. 2. Modified by using the pencil on the left. 3. Removed by using the cross at the right side of the screen. Over here you can see also the group changes. This group change is also shown in the activity graph and temperature graph of this individual cow. The group change is shown under ‘remark’. You can also import events from your management system. We can make an interface with many management systems. Please contact CowManager for more information. 15 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 4. In the fourth tab you can find the behaviour of the cow. This will show you the following information: - The behaviour per day of rumination, feeding, inactivity, normal activity and high activity. It is possible to check back 8, 15, 25, or 50 days. You can also choose other time periods. 16 The behaviour per hour (rumination, feeding, inactivity, normal activity and high activity). It is possible to check back every hour for 1, 2 or 3 days. You can also choose other time periods. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 5. Under the fifth tab the activity graph is shown, this is a view of the cow’s activity. - Different periods can be selected, so you can examine its fertility cycle. - The events of the cow are shown on the chart, so you can get an even better picture of the cow’s history. - The red line indicates the ‘in heat’ behaviour of the cow. - The blue line shows the ‘heat state’ value of the cow. - The light blue line shows the rumination. Rumination is an extra parameter to underpin the heat. - The light green area indicates the value of the “suspected in heat” alert. - The dark green area indicates the value of the “in heat” alert. 17 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 4 Input 4.1 Add cow Under the header ‘Input’ you can add cows by clicking ‘Add cow(s)’ Use this item only when an automatic data exchange with your herd management system is not available. In this screen a new cow can be added and its data can be entered. When you enter a new cow, it is required to enter the registration number, animal number and date of birth. This information can be changed at any time in the cow overview by clicking the pencil. See the screen below. 18 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 4.2 Group management CowManager has two types of groups: ‘Biological’ and ‘not biological’ groups. The biological group contains: lactating cows, dry cows and young stock. The ‘not-biological’ groups are groups that are set up by you or the interface with your management system If you want to make a new group you can select ‘Group management’. This screen will be displayed: Some management systems can synchronise their data and group information with CowManager. In that case you can see the herd groups here. If not, you can add new groups by entering a name and clicking on the ‘new group to be added’ button. When the new group is added, you will see the group at the left of the screen. Change this group by using the pencil of remove it by clicking the trashcan button. At first all cows will be placed in the group “Not allocated”. The number within parentheses shows the number of cows in that group. By clicking on this group the “not allocated” cows will be listed at the right part of the screen. In this list of cows you can select cows by clicking the checkbox. If you want to select all of the cows in your screen, you can select the upper checkbox. You can also sort the cows by using the filters on Animal number, DIM, Lactation number, Fertility state etc. to select the cows you want to add in the same group quickly. After you select the cows you can add them in the new group by dragging the mouse. It is important to release your mouse exactly on the name of the group (hyperlink). After that, the cows will be placed in the group you put them in and are out of the group where they coming from. A cow can be part of one group only. 19 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 4.3 Group event management The following screen appears by selecting this header: In this screen you can add events which are relevant for a whole group, for example: vaccinations, ration changes, veterinary checks etc. First you have to select the date, next the group and last the group event. You can press the first bottom to save your input. Group event are shown in group overviews and in the activity graph of individual cows in this group. 4.4 Linking The items ‘linking’ and ‘delinking’ are necessary to link and delink a Sensor to a cow. Important! When the Sensor is used for the first time, it must be activated with the CowManager Activator. For more information, see the installation guide. 1. Click the button ‘linking’ in CowManager (left menu) 2. The first drop down menu displays cows with their registration number and animal number. Type a part of the animal nr to find the cow faster. Select the cow you want to link to. 3. In the second list all free Sensors are shown. Sensors already linked to a cow are not available in this list. 20 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 4. You can use these bars looking for cow numbers and Sensors. You need to select both the right cow and the Sensor number in the bars and then click on ‘Linking’. CowManager always confirms the link you made between cow and Sensor. 5. If you want to change Sensors between cows, you have to delink the sensor before you can link it to another cow. 4.5 Delinking 1. Click the button ‘Delinking’ in CowManager. 2. A list appears with linked animals and Sensors. (Registration number, cow number and Sensor ID). 3. You can type a Sensor ID, registration number or cow number in the bar to find the connection you want to delink. 4. Select the cows or Sensors that need to be delinked. 5. Click ‘delinking’ and delink them all at once. 6. The Sensor and cow number are now disconnected successfully. If you accidently chose the wrong cow or Sensor, you can remove it from the list by clicking on the cross on the right side. If you click on the button “Delinking” all Sensors in the selection will be delinked. 21 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 5 Nutrition In the left menu in CowManager you will find the header “Nutrition”. Nutrition is divided into two subheadings, the “group overview” and “behavior around event”. The rumination- and eating minutes in the cow list are also a part of the Nutrition software module. See the image below. These minutes are calculated minutes showing the average of the minutes per hour over het last 24 hours. When last hour differs more than 10% compared to the average of the last 24 hours you get a “+” or “-” sign behind the value. 5.1 Group overview At the left menu in CowManager you will find the ‘Group overview’. Here you can look at the behaviour of biological and not-biological groups by using the drop-down box under ‘Select group’. With biological groups, we mean: lactating cows, young stock and dry cows. Not-biological groups are based on lactation stage, parity, etc. The behaviour of the group in respect of rumination, feeding, inactivity, activity and high activity can also be read here. For this behaviour the feed-factor is calculated: livestock behaviour can be formatted, continuously. In addition, this feed-factor is an indication of how much time the group spends feeding. When this coefficient drops, this can indicate that something is happening within the group, making the cow pay less attention to its food and possibly producing less. 22 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 - 23 The behaviour of the group in the graph can be observed over 7, 25 or 50 days. Other variable periods may also be chosen. Click on “Hours” to see the behaviour of the group the last day per hour. Left above the graph you see the group and the number of the cows in these group. The events created by group event management are shown by the associated group in the graph. The events are displayed automatically in the graph. There is a checkbox with events, which makes it possible to not show the events in the graphs. Uncheck the box and click on ‘Refresh Chart’ to make it disappear. User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 5.2 Behaviour around event In these graphs the behaviour around the most important events of a cow is visible; calving and drying off. Here you can closely analyse the transition period. Simply select a period in which the event must fall, also select the event you want (calving or drying off). For example, if you choose ‘calving’ and 3 months ago’ you will see the behaviour of the cows that have calved the past three months. The behaviour is the average of these cows 25 days before calving and 25 days after calving. Calving Dry off 24 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 6 Settings 6.1 User settings Here you can set the CowManager per user. You can choose the following languages: Depending on the language CowManager is set, the user manual is adjusted. In user settings you can also specify in which value the temperature should be shown; Celsius or Fahrenheit. 6.2 Management settings In this screen the you can set your own requirements for your farm. This view is shown below. The alerts will be calculated for a cow anyway even when these settings are changed. The alerts only will not be shown in the alert list. When the settings no longer apply for a cow, you will see the alerts by the individual cow, at the left of the screen. 25 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 Alerts: “No heat alerts if cow is do not breed” When a cow is “Do not breed”, you can choose to not get heat alerts from this cows any longer. In the standard settings this is turned off, so the heat alerts will always show up for this cows. You can do the same to pregnant cows. “No heat alerts if lactating cow/ young stocks is pregnant after this expiration period” When the pregnancy check is positive you can choose to not show any heat alert for this cow/ young stock. In practice pregnant cows join cows in heat more often than fresh cows. This setting is also turned off in the standard settings, so the pregnant cows will get a heat alert when they are more high active. “No heat alerts if cow/ heifer has calved within this waiting period (days)” You can also set a voluntary waiting period (days) for cows/heifers after calving to get a heat alert. For example, when fresh cows stay in a separated barn for some time. With this setting you can prevent those false alerts when these cows move to the herd. Standard is this setting on for the first 7 days, you can change the number of days of course. “Number of days no heat alert after linking” The number of days you would not like to receive heat alerts after linking the Sensor to the cow. With this setting you can prevent those false alerts within the new linked cows. Standard is this setting on for the first 7 days, you can change the number of days of course. “Number of days no health alert after linking” The number of days you would not like to receive health alerts after linking the Sensor to the cow. “No heat alerts if young stock younger than (months)” The young stock under ... months for which you do not want to receive no alerts from young stock younger than … months. With this setting you can hide the heat alerts of young stock who are too you for breeding. Groups: The fresh cows are standard all cows until standard 21 days in milk. Also you can change this maximum if you want. Open young stock is all the young stock older than 14 months without an insemination. Open cows are all cows standard between 40 and 200 days in milk who didn’t have an insemination or pregnancy check positive. You can change the minimum and maximum days in milk where open cows have to be in between. Close-up cows are all cows close to calving. Default are cows shown in this view with DCC 266 or more, but of course this could be adapted to the number of days you want. This is meant to give the cows close to calving the attention they deserved. Don’t forget to click on the “Save” button after changing these settings. 26 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 7. Multiview The Multiview tool in CowManager gives you the opportunity to give employers, veterinarians and advisors more insight in CowManager and to take note of specific information in CowManager. Each user needs a username and password first. When this person is a new CowManager user, fill in his/her email address at 1 and press “Register”. Select the items you want the user to get access to. To protect your system, do not access every user to input, linking and delinking of Sensors. In some cases your vet of advisor already have an login for CowManager. In that case fill his/her CowManager username in at 2. Press the button “Add existing user” and set the rights for this user. 27 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 8. System status In the left menu in CowManager you will find the system status. The system status shows whether the entire system, the coordinator, router(s) and Sensors are still working. You will also see whether the synchronization of the information from the Sensors to the CowManager still works properly. In front of the header ‘System information’ in the left menu there is a red cross X or a green tick √. The red cross X means that there is a fault in the system. The green tick √ means that everything is working properly. There is only a red cross for the heading ‘System status’ when either synchronization of the Sensor information to CowManager, or the coordinator/router(s) are not working. 8.1 CowManager system The first item under CowManager status is System. Here you can see when CowManager was last updated with information from the Sensors. - A red cross X appears if no information from the Sensor has arrived in CowManager for over an hour. - A green checkmark √ appears if the information synchronization to the CowManager is working well. - Also shown is the last cow data synchronisation between your management program and the CowManager. - The used cow data interface is shown. You can see the parts of your system in an overview below: - The PC and the version of the PC application. - The coordinator. The ID is the address of the coordinator which is also printed on the device. - The router(s). The ID is the address of the routers which is also printed on the device.

When a device is not sending any Sensor information for one hour the green tick changes in a red cross. Hint: use the pencil to give your devices a specific name or number, for example to make clear where the device is located. 28 User manual version 5.1 CowManager tel. 0031 348 443 840 8.2 Sensors In this part of the system you can see the activated sensors.

In the column ‘Animal’ the number and name of the cow is displayed, which is linked to a Sensor. In the column ‘Last transmit date’, the most recent date and time on which the Sensors forwarded information to the coordinator /router(s) is displayed. The column ‘last measurement’ displays the time and date of the last measurement that CowManager has received.
